Aims Periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) is a serious complication of total hip arthroplasty (THA). Different bearing surface materials have different surface properties and it has been suggested that the choice of bearing surface may influence the risk of PJI after THA. The objective of this meta-analysis was to compare the rate of PJI between metal-on-polyethylene (MoP), ceramic-on-polyethylene (CoP), and ceramic-on-ceramic (CoC) bearings. Patients and Methods Electronic databases (Medline, Embase, Cochrane library, Web of Science, and Cumulative Index of Nursing and Allied Health Literature) were searched for comparative randomized and observational studies that reported the incidence of PJI for different bearing surfaces. Two investigators independently reviewed studies for eligibility, evaluated risk of bias, and performed data extraction. Meta-analysis was performed using the Mantel–Haenzel method and random-effects model in accordance with methods of the Cochrane group. Results Our search strategy revealed 2272 studies, of which 17 met the inclusion criteria and were analyzed. These comprised 11 randomized controlled trials and six observational studies. The overall quality of included studies was high but the observational studies were at high risk of bias due to inadequate adjustment for confounding factors. The overall cumulative incidence of PJI across all studies was 0.78% (1514/193 378). For each bearing combination, the overall incidence was as follows: MoP 0.85% (1353/158 430); CoP 0.38% (67/17 489); and CoC 0.53% (94/17 459). The meta-analysis showed no significant difference between the three bearing combinations in terms of risk of PJI. Conclusion On the basis of the clinical studies available, there is no evidence that bearing choice influences the risk of PJI. Future research, including basic science studies and large, adequately controlled registry studies, may be helpful in determining whether implant materials play a role in determining the risk of PJI following arthroplasty surgery.

Abstract Background: Total hip arthroplasty (THA) is a widely used and successfully performed orthopedic procedure for treating severe hip osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and avascular necrosis. However, periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) after THA is a devastating complication for patients and orthopedic surgeons. Although surgical technology has been advanced and antibiotic-loaded cemented spacers or beads have developed, the treatment failure rate of one- or two-stage exchange arthroplasty for PJI is reported to be high, with >10% rate of incidence. Therefore, determining the possible pathogenesis and increasing the treatment success rate is a clinically important and urgent issue. Methods: A total of 256 patients with PJI who had undergone THA from 2005 to 2015 were included in this retrospective review. Seven patients required combined ilioinguinal and anterlateoal approach for debridement of iliac fossa abscess and infected hip lesion, included five patients with intraoperative pus leakage from the acetabular inner wall and the other two patients who underwent pre-operative pelvic computed tomography (CT) because of repeat PJI treatment failure. All available data from the medical records from all patients were retrospectively analyzed.Results: Of the 256 patients, seven (3.1%) patients was combined iliac fossa abscess in our cohort. For the microbiologic analysis, a total of thirteen pathogens were isolated from seven recurrent PJI patients with iliac fossa abscess, and Staphylococus aureus was the most commomly pathogen (4 out of 7 cases). The serum white blood cell (WBC) count was decreased significantly two weeks after debridement with combined the ilioinguinal and anterolateral approach compared to the day before surgery (11840/μL vs. 7370/μL; p<0.01), and level of C-reactive protein (CRP) was decreased at postoperative one week (107 mg/dL vs. 47.31 mg/dL; p=0.03). Furthermore, no recurrent infection was found in six revision THA patient in a follow up of 7.1 year. Conclusion: This result suggests that pre-operative pelvic CT and cautious identification of uncertain pus leakage from the inner wall of the acetabulum is essential for the diagnosis of recurrent PJI. Radical debridement with combined ilioinguinal and anterlateoal approach may aviod treatment failure in recurrent PJI with iliac fossa abscess.

Introduction: The effect of different bearings on synovial white blood cell (WBC) count and polymorphonuclear percentage (PMN%) in aspirations remains unclear. Therefore, this study investigates the impact of aseptic Metal-on-Metal (MoM) bearing on synovial fluid. Methods: We searched our arthroplasty registry for aseptic painful THAs with MoM bearings between 2011 and 2018. Then, a case-matched control group was selected with septic and aseptic Total Hip Arthroplasty (THA) with ceramic on a polyethylene (PE) bearing. The matching criteria consisted of gender, age +/−10 years, and time of aspiration (+/−2years). Periprosthetic Joint Infection (PJI) was defined according to the Infectious Diseases Society of America (IDSA), and Musculoskeletal Infection Society (MSIS) using bacterial cultures, sonication and histology. Results: In total, 19 patients who underwent hip aspiration with MoM bearing were identified. Five patients had to be excluded due to insufficient synovial fluid obtained (n = 2) or bacterial growth after sonication that was initially negative with the standard microbiological cultures (n = 3). As such, 14 were included. These patients were matched with 14 aseptic and 14 septic THAs with ceramic on a PE bearing, which constituted the control group. The mean serum chrome level was 20.0 ± 15.5 nmol/L and cobalt level 18.4 ± 22.1 nmol/L. The synovial WBC and PMN% varied significantly between MoM bearing group and the aseptic THA ceramic PE group (both p < 0.001), as well as the septic THA group (WBC p = 0.016, PMN% p < 0.001). Furthermore, the septic THA group had significantly higher CRP values than the aseptic MoM group (p = 0.016). Conclusion: MoM bearing shows significantly higher synovial WBC and PMN% when compared to aseptic THA with ceramic on PE bearing above the MSIS cut-off. This is an important consideration when diagnosing periprosthetic joint infection using the MSIS guidelines.

ABSTRACT Objective: To determine whether the topical use of gentamicin reduces periprosthetic joint infection rates in primary total hip arthroplasty (THA). Methods: We retrospectively evaluated two cohorts of patients who underwent primary THA in a university hospital, with a minimum of 1-year postoperative follow-up and full clinical, laboratory, and radiological documentation. Patients who underwent operation in the first 59 months of the study period (263 hips) received only intravenous cefazolin as antibiotic prophylaxis (Cef group), and those who underwent operation in the following 43 months (170 hips) received intravenous cefazolin plus topical gentamicin directly applied on the wound as antibiotic prophylaxis (Cef + Gen group). For the diagnosis of periprosthetic joint infection, we used the criteria of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Data were analyzed using the Fisher exact test, and p values of <0.05 were considered significant. Results: Thirteen hips (4.9%) in the Cef group and eight hips (4.7%) in the Cef + Gen group presented periprosthetic joint infection. Statistical analysis revealed no difference between the infection rates (p = 1.0). Conclusion: Topical gentamicin as used in this study did not reduce periprosthetic joint infection rates in primary THA. Level of Evidence III, Retrospective comparative study.

Background. There are few cases of entire femur modular replacement with hip and knee joints in patients with periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) in literature. They report encouraging results in patients of elderly and senile age. We present case of a copper-coated femoral spacer implantation to 50-year-old patient with multiple PJI episodes and osteomyelitis of the entire femur.Clinical presentation. A 40-year-old male patient after resection of the proximal part of the right femur for fibrotic osteodysplasia underwent total hip arthroplasty with replacement of 15 cm of the femur. In December 2010 (20 months after implantation), instability of the femoral component developed, revision arthroplasty was performed with stem recementation. After 4 months, sinus tract formed in the area of the postoperative scar. After another 4 months, the head of the prosthesis was dislocated. In September 2011, the endoprosthesis components were removed and a unipolar cement spacer was implanted. The limb immobilized in a hip spica cast. Methicillin-sensitive S. epidermidis (MSSE) was detected in the preoperative joint aspiration puncture and periprosthetic tissues. After 3 months (December 2011), patient underwent revision total hip arthroplasty (25 cm defect was replaced). 5 years of PJI remission followed. In November 2016 after PJI recurrence the endoprosthesis was removed, and an articulating spacer was implanted. P. aeruginosa was detected in periprosthetic tissues. For the past 2.5 years there were periodically sinus tracts formations. In August of 2019 spacer’s migration resulted in an intercondylar fracture of the right femur. In September 2019, spacer was removed, and MSSE was detected in the surrounding tissues. An articulating cement spacer based on an oncological modular total femur coppercoated endoprosthesis was implanted. At each control examination during the year copper concentration in blood serum was determined, it did not exceed 900–1200 mcg/l. No local or systemic side effects were detected. The patient started working 3 months after surgery. After 6 months poor functioning sinus tract formed in the postoperative scar area in the lower third of the thigh. 1.5 years after the operation, the functional condition is satisfactory.Conclusion. The use of the copper-coated spacer based on modular total femur endoprosthesis with hip and knee joints in a patient with multiple PJI allowed to improve the function of the limb and reduce the severity of the infectious process. No local or systemic toxic effects of copper were detected.
